When Han Shuliang left the Shen family, it was not early, and looking back at the lights of the Shen family, he felt for the first time that there were many regrets in life, and this regret could only remain in his heart.

Early in the morning of the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Shen family was busy with the wedding banquet, and those familiar in the village also came to help. Zheng, as today's second heroine, has a red face and a "mother-in-law flower" on her head, and she can't close her mouth when she sees anyone.

"Mother, the bride will be here in a while, you and your father will sit down first, and we will visit the church in a while!" Shen Shimei was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and all the dishes on the more than 20 tables were on her stove, if it weren't for the help of the neighbors in the village to help run the side dishes, she wouldn't have a chance to breathe at this time.

The people in the village now all look up to the Shen family, and they also look up to Shen Shimei. In the autumn, the people who borrowed grain before also returned the grain, and some of the Shen family who were not enough to survive the winter collected less, and now the Shen family is also very popular in the village.

Mrs. Zhang is sitting behind the wine table eating melon seeds at this time, the village is so big, there are very few people in the same village who don't get along with each other, Li Lazyman doesn't care about anything when he has wine in his hand at this time, and he pushes the cup and changes the cup with a group of gentlemen at the side table, but he doesn't remember the festival with the Shen family before.

"This Shen pomegranate is really lucky, and he looks good when he is thin and long!" Mrs. Zhang chattered.

"No, she is now the future official wife, and she can't afford to mess with it!" Widow Xu said.

There were also women from other families at the same table, and they did not join in the conversation between the two, and everyone in the village knew that these two people were the most distracted, and they did not want to interact.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Mrs. Zhang said to Widow Xu: "It's a pity that I've been in prison!" ”

Widow Xu smiled: "No, what kind of place is that prison, I heard that some cell bosses still use their hands and feet on female prisoners, who knows if this Shen pomegranate is still clean?" Hahaha! ”

There was someone next to him who couldn't listen to it, so he slapped the table directly: "Are you two finished?" If you don't want to come, don't come, it's a sincere provocation here, right? ”

As soon as there was movement here, everyone looked over, and Mrs. Zhang was afraid that it would make a big fuss, so she hurriedly said: "Sit down first, sit down first, we are also unintentional, why are you arguing so loudly?" ”

The others glared at Mrs. Zhang, they were all here to attend the wedding, and it was not easy to make it too big.

"Widow Xu, when your family is short of food, you can eat the food of the Shen family, be careful when you speak in the future, or you will not be struck by lightning!" If you want to say that you have a good mouth, the women in this village are not easy to pinch, and they don't stop them from saying whatever they want.

Widow Xu also lowered her head, not daring to say anything unpleasant.

The firecrackers crackled at the door, and the little three guns ran over with several children, and when they saw Shen Shimei, they said, "The bride has arrived at the door!" ”

Shen Shiliu hurriedly took the copper plate and distributed it to a few children, and the children all ran away to play when they got the money!

The suona outside is blowing lively, beating gongs and drums, this wedding is definitely grand in the village, many of the big girls who have not been out of the pavilion all looked at Hong Xiuhua who got off the sedan chair with envy, not only married rich, Shen Shu is also so handsome, it is really lucky!

Shen Shiliu also hurriedly stood beside the Zheng family at this time, and the village chief next to him was a witness, and he worshiped heaven and earth in the midst of the excitement, and the bride was also sent into the cave room.

Shen Shiliu saw that the main ceremony was nothing, so she asked Shen Shu not to drink too much today, and she went to the cave room to see Hong Xiuhua first.

said that it was a cave house, but it was actually Shen Shu's original room, which was decorated with red silk, and it was not lived in anyway, so it just meant it.

"Sister-in-law!" Shen Shiliu shouted loudly as soon as he entered the house.

After Hong Xiuhua heard the voice, she lifted the red hijab and said to Shen Shimei: "Hey! The voice should be very crisp, and there was joy in the tone.

Shen Pomegranate brought some food, although he also had to put dried fruit and pastries when he got married, but those who ate it must be dry.

"Hungry, you eat first!" Shen Shimei took out a few small dishes from the food box, set up a table, and specially made a pot of wine, and the cave house was also going to be in this old house tonight.

Shen Shimei was just about to help Hong Xiuhua take off the hijab, but Hong Xiuhua stopped her: "You can't take off the hijab, it will be unlucky!" ”

Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly: "Then you can take it and eat it first!" ”

Hong Xiuhua really covered her head with one hand to prevent it from falling off, and ate it with chopsticks in the other.

"I'm really hungry, I got up before dawn and was busy, I feel more tired than your restaurant work!" Hong Xiuhua said while eating.

Shen Shiliu smiled: "In the future, the restaurant will be ours, and my sister-in-law is now a little proprietress!" ”

Hong Xiuhua said with a smile: "This restaurant is still yours, I told your brother, and this restaurant will be your wedding in the future!" ”

The Shen family's idea is relatively simple, Du Xuanmo is now an official, his status is low, and they also hope that Shen Shimei will marry the scenery, if there is a store as a dowry, he will be able to straighten his waist in his in-law's house in the future.

Shen Shiliu laughed directly: "No, I've already thought about it, and I'm going to open a branch next year." ”

"Hurry up here?" Hong Xiuhua said.

Shen Shiliu nodded: "Now you have a fixed menu in the store, and my brother and Second Brother Hong can also help you, and I have nothing to do without here." ”

"So where are you going to open a branch? And these people have helped me, what are you going to do? Hong Xiuhua said.

Shen Shiliu also thought about this problem, so he said: "Let's find a helper when the time comes, I don't plan to open a big store directly at the beginning, let's start with a small restaurant and grow bigger little by little!" "When the store is small, find a bookkeeper and a running hall, and basically be busy.

Hong Xiuhua asked, "Do you want to go to Fengyang County?" ”

Shen Shiliu nodded: "Anyway, it's all open, Anyang County has our family, and the next one is in Fengyang." ”

Hong Xiuhua knew that Shen Shimei was bent on Du Xuanmo, and it was not easy to persuade her, so she said, "Or let Shuangmu go with you." She privately calls Hongyi's nickname Shuangmu.

"No, the shop here is the foundation, I'll just hire someone first." Shen Shiliu said that it was the first time for her to open a branch, and if it didn't work, don't affect this side.

Hong Xiuhua nodded: "I thought you wouldn't marry too soon, and our sister-in-law would be able to get along more." ”

Shen Shiliu smiled and said, "It's just a preliminary idea, and it won't be soon." ”

It was getting dark, Shen Shu entered the door with a smell of wine, and Shen Shiliu saw that the groom and officials were coming, so he was ready to go out.

Shen Shu walked a little swaying, and his face was flushed, so Shen Pomegranate asked, "It's still not too much to drink!" ”

Shen Shu smiled: "The people in the village have to irrigate, and the brother-in-law and brother-in-law have already helped block a lot!" ”

Shen Shiliu sneered: "Brothers-in-law and brother-in-law are afraid that you will wronged Sister Xiuhua for a while, come in!" After speaking, Shen Shimei left first.

The guests were almost gone, Shen Shiliu cleaned up the dishes, the twenty tables of plates and bowls had been moved to the well by the neighbors, Shen Shiliu went to the stove to boil water, and then found a small bench and began to wash the dishes.

Zheng was also tired enough today, and when he saw that Shen Pomegranate was still brushing the dishes, he said, "Let's put it first, and then brush it tomorrow, it's dark and cold at this time." ”

"It's okay mother, there is hot water, it's the New Year, it's not good to look at the dishes, it's estimated that it will take two days to brush!" Shen Shiliu said.

When Zheng heard this, he took an old jacket for Shen Shiliu and put it on.

"These days, I patronize your brother's wedding, but I forgot that you don't have a new winter jacket yet, and I can't wear it for the New Year." Zheng said that Shen Shiliu was still wearing old cotton clothes.

Shen Shiliu smiled: "It's okay, I'm busy on the stove anyway, and I can't bear to wear it with oil smoke." Besides, no one looks at me, and it's nothing if I'm old! "A woman is a person who pleases herself, she just wants to dress well to show Du Xuanmo.

Zheng looked at Shen Pomegranate with a smile and said, "Mother made you a new outfit, and I look like I'm going to turn fifteen years old, and I will dress beautifully when I am ready!" ”

Shen Shiliu nodded in response, and listened to Zheng's words: "Ji Xuan's words...... Mother will go to the county seat to buy you a good-looking hairpin, gold or jade? "The coming-of-age ceremony of the daughter's family must always be paid attention to, and she, as a mother, must always be open, and she can't wronged her daughter.

"Mother, you don't need a hairpin, you already have it!" Shen Shiliu hurriedly said, don't spend any more money.

Zheng Shi wondered and said, "Got it? Your brother carved the wood for you? That's not good, and you have to use gold or jade, a good relationship of gold and jade! "How can there be a reason to deal with it with a wooden hairpin?

Shen Shiliu shook her head with a smile, got up and wiped her hands, and then went back to the house, and when she came out again, she held the hosta that Du Xuanmo gave her.

"Where did you come from? Spending a small coffer again? Zheng looked at it, the color of the jade is quite good, and the pattern is also simple, and it must be very dignified when worn.

"Hehe, Brother Du gave me when he took office, saying that he couldn't catch up with my hairpin, so he gave me this hairpin first." Shen Shiliu said with a smile, her small vault is usually tightly locked, and Zheng said that she should put it away and don't spend it easily, even if it is a dowry in the future.

Hearing that it was given by Du Xuanmo, Zheng also smiled: "This kid is thinking about you and thinking about your courtesy." ”

"If you don't think about me, why should I marry him?" Shen Shiliu said proudly, and his face was also very smug.

Zheng nodded: "Okay, my girl is just good at picking, and my father and mother can follow you to enjoy happiness in the future!" ”

Shen Shimei carefully put the hairpin back away, and continued to brush the dishes, Zheng looked at too many bowls, so he went to sleep with Shen Shimei first, and the rest will be talked about tomorrow.

In the morning, Shen's father and Zheng were sitting in the house, Shen Shimei prepared tea, Shen Shu and Hong Xiuhua came over to serve tea, and the task was completed in the morning. Shen Shiliu feels that although ancient weddings are complicated, compared with modern weddings with such obvious materialistic purposes, the strong sense of ritual of ancient weddings will make people feel that this marriage is not easy to come by.
